Could be me. smile.gif I'm doing 580-600km with RON 95. Trying out RON 97 now. Seems like consumption is a lil better.
Have you done any servicing yet? any problems with ride so far? or we can discuss all this at TT. smile.gif
Just sent u a pm.

No servicing done yet. Mileage is 7k plus only. A little bit of sound from the dashboard when I am driving lately - it is like a buzzing sound - seems like a loose nut or something....very irritating, don't know what the h*%@ is that. Is thinking of sending in to EM to check but heard their service sucks!

Just imagine, so many new Audis on the road, not including those that are purchased from the grey market and there are only 2 servicing centres in Klang Valley! Really not sure how their workmanship will be like!

Anyway, I had replied your PM - hoped to meet you and your new ride this weekend!

mileage only 7k? Wah ... love ur car until u barely drive her? smile.gif
mine's already 2k+ and barely a month old but also bcos i drove her to Singapore the very next day i got the car. Lovely.
Yep, heard and read EM @ Glenmarie sucks. Heard the Chan Sow Lin one is slightly better. If only there were other vendors like Merc / VW / Bmw, surely the service will b much better.

Yea bro, see you soon. smile.gif inviting anybody else? wat about the other A4 owners out there?

bro,im driving the a4 b8 2009,bought from audi malaysia.
last month i realise that the level engine oil is getting lower eventhough the nex oil change is at oct 2012...the mini computer showing that nex oil change day will be another 124days...and i found out the monitor cant even show out the engine level on last month,so i have sent my car to audi malaysia for checking...and the service guy told me...sometimes the sensor cant detect the engine level so he ask me to top up another 1 liter...then i ma top up myself on 10/5/2012...and when i drove my car last weekend,the engine oil level signal came out...it told me the engine oil has reached the minimum level and ask me top up max 1 liter...but YOU MAY CONTINUE DRIVING...what the hell is this...im not even drivve more than 500km since the day i top up the engine oil...so i call the audi assist...the supervisor told me the piston ring need to change...and they said the designed of the engine got problems...so i called my SA,they told me YES...the piston of this engine ada masalah....few units has changed the piston ring...but all of them still under warranty so nobody know how much they charged...i wondering is it still worth to keep this car,cause i dunwan keep on facing this kinds of problems...i jst drove my car 22100km since 2009 until today...any ideas from u all?????

Bro, are u driving a 2.0 liter b8? Heard from SA 2.0 have problem with the engine oil, not so much with 1.8. If under warranty, do go back to EM, if not can always look for experienced Audi workshop outside. But do keep us updated on the issue. Good luck bro.

Hi all,

Been searching around for A4 forums finally found this site.

I've actually placed booking for an E90 320d (pre-reg 0 mileage). About to submit for loan application.
But then was told that Audi A4 is having a facelift model which engine got upgraded. So would like to
find out how's the maintenance like, also how's Audi after sales service in KL. What is the waiting period
if I book now?

Just asking you guys opinion. Should I take the E90 (which is last batch and most equipped) or wait for
the F30 320i (which having many unsolved issues since it's a new model) or get the facelifted A4 1.8T (not
sure about after sales) ?

Thanks in advance for you reply.
